MANAULI FORT

Fortress

👍 The Manauli fort is 4 kms from airport road in the town of Manauli. From what I got to know, it was made by the Mughals, later taken over by Nawab Kapur Singh. It is built with Sirhindi Bricks. It is an important place in terms of history. However when I visited there, it felt no less than abandon... People often mention Manauli, fort, Mohali, village, Fort, located,

    Manauli Fort is located in the Manauli village of Mohali district, Punjab, India. This fort Is situated in Mohali and almost 15 kms from Chandigarh. This fort is in very pathetic condition. When I visited, I came to know that this fort is a disputed property and so it is not maintained. As per history, Sikh warrior Banda Singh Bahadur clinched this fort after triumphing over Mughal oppression. He later handed over the fort to one of his trusted warriors, Sardar Kapoor Singh. Photos shows the awesome architecture work and how people use these kind of qilas for their rest, surviving from others and how they attack enemies very easily. At least one should go and watch this qila.

    The Manauli fort is 4 kms from airport road in the town of Manauli. From what I got to know, it was made by the Mughals, later taken over by Nawab Kapur Singh. It is built with Sirhindi Bricks. It is an important place in terms of history. However when I visited there, it felt no less than abandoned ruins. Tall wild grass was growing there, and the structure seems to be collapsing with every moment due to natural forces. Even though it looked beautiful, it saddens me that some slow court case is delaying the conversation of our heritage. The passage of justice must be fast tracked to protect our monuments! Undisturbed by humans, it has become bird watching hot-spot.

    Manauli Fort is a hidden gem in Mohali that must be visited. The ambiance is serene and the property has a rustic charm that takes you back in time. It's a great place for a weekend getaway. The surrounding lush greenery and peaceful environment make it a perfect spot to unwind and relax. Highly recommended!

    Manauli fort located in Manauli Village is situated near to the Airport Road, Mohali. The Fort in itself is in dilapidated condition, filled with overgrown vegetation and in abject neglect. Punjab Govt, Archaeological department seem to have other things to pay attention to. If you want to visit this fort, you need to carry your essentials with you as no tourist facilities are here. The Fort structure looks sturdy however, seems unsafe. Given its condition can be visited only as a matter of interest or by some photoshoot enthusiasts. The govt should take care of it and develop it.

    This place can become a tourist attraction if someone will take care of it, because I see these days people love to know about history.

    It's a great place to escape from the city rush of Mohali and Chandigarh located just 10 kms from Chandigarh which is not explored much but its conditions are pathetic most of the part of fort is degraded with time without proper preservation by local authorities, but if you love to explore the unexplored and are fond of seeking into the history and historical architect please do visit it.

    Every place in this universe is the gift of God. But if you wanted to go for a trip and find a location for the trip and you will get into Google manauli fort. Then I am saying this is not a tourist place. This is an old historical building. There is nothing for the walk. This place is in between a village. You can go there by personal vehicle or cab. But when you get back home by cab then there is no guarantee that the cab will come or not.
